BlackBerry SSH Images

These are screenshots of PaderSyncSSH on a BlackBerry Curve 8900. Click on the images to see a larger version.

PaderSyncSSH comes with a virtual keyboard that contains keys that your on-device keyboard might not have, such as CTRL and F1-F10.

You can configure a set of macros that allow you to conveniently send commands to the SSH server with minimal effort. A few samples are already preconfigured. Click on Help
when editing a macro to read how to use CTRL and ESC.

A text field is available to buffer your input and send the data when you press enter. This is very useful if you are on a slow connection.

By default the terminal dimension is auto-configured, using all the available screen size in landscape mode. If you disable this setting the terminal will
default to a common 80x24 dimension. You can scroll over the screen and even a few buffered pages.

Browse the remote (SFTP) or local (Memory Card) file system and manage your data.
Type the first few letters of a file or directory name to quickly find it even in long directory listings.
If your device supports it, you can directly open local files. When opening remote files they will be cached on your memory card. If the cached file is modified you
have the option to upload it back to the remote computer.

In almost every situation you have a Help menu available that provides some information about the available options.

You can configure a list of bookmarks for easy and fast connecting. A bookmark will also show up as an option when you are asked for a destination when copying
manually. Here is a step-by-step guide that explains how to create a new (terminal) bookmark.

Import private SSH keys for SSH key based authentication. PaderSyncSSH can import private RSA/DSA keys created by OpenSSH and PuTTY.
You should avoid key lengths that exceed 2048 bit because of the limited processing power of a mobile phone.

SSH Client Quick-Start Guide:

On a BlackBerry you might have to configure your network connection according to your data plan. You can do this in the Settings->Misc.Settings section. DEFAULT will try to detect the proper setup. If you run into connection issues you could change that to DIRECT-TCP as it seems to be the most reliable. Also, note that connection attempts to ports below 1024 will probably fail if you are using BlackBerry BIS networking. These ports are often blocked by either RIM or the carrier. In that case you should either use a different network setting, or you configure your server to additionally listen on a high port number.

To manage your connection setups you should create a bookmark right away.
These bookmarks are not only used for fast and easy reconnecting. They also serve as valid targets for copy operations and they define the source and
destination of synchronization setups.
As an exception you cannot copy files to a terminal connection bookmark.

Once you opened a terminal you have a menu bar at the top. You can hide and show it again with a click on the back button, a softkey or by a tap on the screen. Here is a short
summary of the different options, there is some more information in the corresponding Help menu.

N:Native input, using device specific text field.

T: Open/close a text buffer that might be useful on slow connections.

K: A virtual keyboard with some extra keys that your device probably does not have.

L:Lock viewport. Directional input, dragging on a touch screen, is now sent to the terminal.

M: Open a menu with more options.

Once you connected to a file system you will be presented with a view that shows the directory listings.
A second view to the local file system is automatically opened. To switch between the two file systems you can use the default left/right navigation of your device.
On a touch screen device you can also swipe horizontally over the screen.

Long-click on a file or folder or select Options from the default menu to get a list of operations that you can perform on the selected items.

When you choose to copy one or more files you have to choose a copy destination. The Clipboard option is always available and gives you a new
Paste menu entry on all open file system views. Further valid targets are your bookmarks. Each bookmark contains a Base Directory setting
that will point to the directory where the files will be copied to.
The third option is to use your second file system view and enter a target directory. This directory will also show up as a target option.

To close a file system view you will have to disconnect it. You can choose what connections you want
to close. Note that you can open more than two connections at the same time!
